The one trick that stopped 90% of my phishing emails in 3 days

I set up a custom filter to auto-delete anything with 'urgent action required' in the subject line, and it's been wild how much junk that caught. Anyone else had luck with really simple keyword rules like that?

Funny enough, I used to think simple filters like that were too basic to matter, but you might have just changed my mind - that's a pretty smart catch for random spam.

Man, isn't that always the way though? We overthink everything and miss the simple stuff that actually works. It's like how people try these wild new ways to fix their dripping faucet when all they really needed was a new washer. Same thing with spam filters and all kinds of other problems. Sometimes the simplest fix is the best one, and we just talk ourselves out of it.
